We thank our correspondent " Z" for calling our attention to a verbal error in an article on the heroism recently displayed by the British Legion, which appeared in The Sun of Thursday. By a mistake of the printer, the word " degenerate" was substituted for "undisciplined," thus inferentia:ly conveying moral censnre, in stead of the positive praise whi c h it was our i ntent i on to convey, as the context sufficiently proves.

Z,'"),[e '‘ii33-1,,, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1836. The Dublin Election Committee has just decided against Mr. O'CoNNELL. The House of 6;;;;777Qed last night with the English Tithe Bill, as far as the 50th clause. The chief subject of discussion was the 34th clause, which gives to a certain proportio n of the tithe-owners or tithepayers of a parish, the option of having the tithe re-valued ; and enacts that in such cases of re-valua tion, the Commissioners Sall fit the maximum of the tithe taken in kind at 75, and the minimum at 60 per cent. of the gr'..iss violate. This clause was stoutly opposed by sr.one Honourable Mc;mb much too ers, as bein g vourable to the tithe-owner, while others eAntended that it legalized the downright rob bery of the Church. Sir ROBERT PEEL wished the consideration of the claus e to be p os t pone d , and urged thestale objecti on t h at it made no allowance for the gilifferent qualities and circumstances of land, and pu nished the forbearance of the lenient clergyman, while it rewarded the selfishness of the rigorous exactor. Mr. CAYLEY asserted that it would have the effect of raising the amount of tithe from twenty to thirty per cent., which proves, if it be true, that the land. lords have hitherto taken as good care of themselves in the matter of tithe as in that of rent. Mr. NV! , rmirriso N moved the rejection of the clause in ioto, and, by way of a clenching argument against it, stated that very little tithe was paid in kind, while it unfortunately happens that the clause applies only to tithe taken in kind. The H on . M em b er ' s mot i on was lost, and the original clause, as amended by Lord Jrniii RUSSELL, carried, TI7 .oniteur of Thursday, which we have re ceived with the other Paris Tapers of the same date, contains the following telegraphic announcement " After carrying the intrenchments of the Carlists, the troops of General Evans stopped at the yenta of Ernani, where they ttok rest. By accounts of the 9th, it appears they occupied the whole of the heights from St. Sebastian to the yenta, where they were fortifying themselves. Ernani n-as strengthened on the 7th by the arrival of three Carlist battalions. Eguia was engaged in sending seven more in that direction, in order to attack the English. Segastibelza, who was killed in the affair of the sth, has been succeeded by Ito riz9. Letters from Portugalettc of the 6th say, that on the sth a continued firing of musketry was heard in the direction of "Llodio. It was probably occasioned by the engagement which is supposed to have taken place on the sth between 71 Cordova and Eguia. No particulars of that ell"" entav e been yet received ; but the Carlists. events, 'do not claim the victory. The Christin`n7 entered Estell a on t h e n t h. O n the 7th the British naval force stationed at Bilboa received a reinforccinent of six hundred marines, and Severn; ofncers. A reinforcement, of one thousand men, has also reached Bilboa." The above includes all that is important in the Jour nals of Thursday, with the exception of the following extracts : (Private Correspondtnec of the Messager.) BAYONNE, MAY 7..-4 f I would communicate et.ll the news circulated by the Quldnuncs of our city., Most of which is taken from journals printed here. I might tel: 3ou of the march of the English in dot4ile tptick time on the high rid tt) Tolosa ; but these accennts appear to me to be. tho ques tionable. Evans, Aktr his victory, took geed care not to go too far from St, Sebastian ; he stopped at Areamendi, half way between Or:. town and Ernani. This moderate success can only be the result of a plan agreed on before hard with Genera) Cordova ; and I consider it to be the more prudent, as the English, if they advance further, would find besides the enemy, who knows very well how to defend himself, only a de scAate country, without provisions or inhabitants. Before he Penetrates into the interior, General Evans must drive the Carlists from Iron and Fontaralbia, and the more so as they might intercept his convoys. The loss of the latter in the affair of the sth, seems to have been exaggerated, for later accounts make it amount to no more than 145 killed and 230 wounded. The steam-boat which arrived at St. Sebastian yesterday reports that a heavy cannonade had been fired in the - direction of Llodio ; if, as I believe the fact is so, Cordova must have had an engagement yesterday at the same time that Evans made his sally. But these are only conjectures, the accuracy of which I cannot ascertain till to-morrow or the day after. The Christinos have resolved not to be inferior to the Carlists in Vandalism, for immediately after the action at St. Sebastian they set fire to nine country houses which the others had spared. Whenever, you hear of Chapelgorris and Chapel , zurris (red caps and white caps) you may hear these are brave men, but also men who strangely abuse the privilege of vic tory.—Messager, May 12. PARIS, MAY 11.—NEWS FROM NAVARRE.—Wo have not heard of the arrival of any letters from Madrid by express, but we have some from Bayonne of the 7th. Some of them affirm that the Carlists defeated by Evans have already been re-in forced by six battalions, under Gurrea and Gomez, from the Valley of Lanz. These troops occupied on the 6th Oyarzum and Ernani, and their outposts exchanged musket shot with the vanguard of the English. It is affirmed that Gurrea intends to drive the English back into St. Sebastian, but he waits for the artillery which is to be sent him from Tolosa. It is as tonishing that we hear nothing of General Bernelle, who, see ing the line of his adversaries weakened, would certainly not remain' inactive in sight of the troops left in it. The death of Segastibelza and of Frero is fully confirmed ; their bodies passed through Tolosa on the 26th, as well as 160 wounded sent to Bergarra, where the military hospitals of the Pretender arc established. On the 7th, in the morning, information was received at Bayonne, that some companies of the fine battalion of Chapelgoris had just landed at Socca with orders to proceed immediately to attack Irun, n here there are 300 Carlists with two pieces of artillery. A well-informed correspondent at Portsmouth, states in a letter, dated yesterday, that Lieutenant CosTicAN and part of the detachment of Royal Marine Artillery, sent to Spain in the Carron steamer, have been safely landedat the Desierte Convent, near Bilboa, where they are constructing and fortifying redoubts. The same gentleman writes as follows respecting the late engage ment before St. Sebastian : " All and every letter from St. Sebastian concur in stating, . that notwithstanding the desperate efforts of the British Le gion, the Carlist works would never have been carried had it not been that the convent was fired and a breach made in its walls (capable of admitting 100 men abreast), by the shells thrown by the detachment of Royal Marine Artillery on board the Ph(rnix steamer, every one of which, 47 in number, being fired with the most scientific precision at a range of 1,500 yards, burst into the very midst of the enemy, dealing death and destruction around. " A Christino officer, who went over the ground imme diately after the close of the action, was astonished at the number of Carlists who had been killed or mortally wounded by the splinters from those shells." New York Papers to the 16th instant have been received. They bring important advices from Texas, and some account of the state of the Indian War in Florida. General SANTA ANNA has taken the field in real earnest, having previously vowed not to sheathe his sword till the Texeans make an unconditional sur render of life, liberty, and property, and consent to be dealt with according to his pleasure. In the spirit of this dreadful vow, he has butchered, without mercy, all who have fallen into his hands. The war is one of utter extermination. No quarter is given ; and even where it is promised the blood-thirsty savages slaughter their prisoners in cold blood. The following dread ful account of the war in Texas is extracted from the New Orleans Bulletin of the Ist ult. : We learn by the passengers of the schooner Cumanche, eight days from Texas, that on the 25th of February the Texean garrison in Bexar of 150 men, commanded by Lieut.- Col. B. Travis, was attacked by the advance division of Gen. Santa Anna's army, consisting of 2,000 men, who were re pulsed with the loss of many killed, between five hundred to eight hundred men, without the loss of one man of the Texeans. About the same time Colonel Johnson, with a party of seventy men, while reconnoitering the westward of San Patricio, was surrounded in the night by a large body of Mexican troops. In the morning the demand of a surrender was made by the Mexican commander, unconditionally, which" was refused; but an offer of surrender was made as prisoners of war, which was acceded to by the Mexicans ; but no sooner had the Texeans marched out of their quarters and stacked their arms than a general fire was opened upon them by the whole Mexican force. The Texians attempted to escape, but only thref ; of them succeeded, one of whom was Colonel Johnson, On the 6th of March, about midnight, the Alamo was as saulted by the whole force of the Mexican army, commanded by Santa Anna in person ; the battle was desperate until daYli: 6 - 'nt, when only seven men belonging to the Texcan gP.erison were found alive, who cried for quarter, but were told that there was no mercy for them ; they continued fight , ing until the whole were butchered. One woman, Mrs. Dickinson, and a negro of Travis, were the only persons whose lives were spared. We regret to say that Colonel David Crocket, his companion Mr. Benton, and Colonel Bonham, of South Carolina, were among the number slain. General Bowie was murdered in his bed, sick and helpless. General Cos, on entering the fort, ordered the servant of Colonel Travis to point out the body of his master; he did so, when Cos drew his sword and mangled the face and limbs with the malignant feeling of a Cumanche savage. The bodies of the slain were thrown into a heap in the centre of the Alamo and burned. The loss of Mexicans in storming the place was not less than 1,000 killed and mortally wounded, and as many wounded —making their loss in the first assault between 2,000 and 3,000 men. The flag used by the Mexi cans was a blood red one, in place of the constitutional one. The effect of the fall of Bexar throughout Texas was electrical. Every man who could use a rifle, and was in a condition to take the field, marched forthwith to the scat of war. It is believed that not less than 4,000 riflemen were on their way to the army when the Cumanche sailed, determined to wreak their vengeance on the Mexicans. The general determination of the people of Texas is to abandon all their occupations and pursuits of peace, and con tinue in arms until every Mexican east of the Rio del Norte shall be exterminated. Mr. RICHARD Er is, President of the Convention of Texas, has addressed a Proclamation to the people of the United States, in which he implores them to assist the Texeans in their struggle for freedom : " Friends and Brothers," runs this document, " we, the citizens of Texas, threatened with an indiscriminate slaughter by the Mexicans, of a complicated and cruel disposition, now in this hour of trial turn our thoughts and our hearts, with an unwavering- confidence, to the land of our common nativity, and we ask you for assistance. Our numbers are few, but our hearts arc firm, and our nerves are strong to the high resolve of liberty or death. Will you, brothers and friends, refuse to do us as in the hour of your calamity was nobly done for you? And will you calmly witness the destruction of your kindred and triumph of tyranny, and make no effort to save the one or arrest the other? It cannot, it will not be." That the assistance so earnestly besought will be rendered, is doubtful, but without it the Texcans can. not long make head against the forces under command of SANTA ANNA. The death of the eccentric Colonel CROCKET will be as sincerely lamented by the people of England, as by his admirers in the United States. The accounts from Florida are uninteresting—no ,hing decisive has yet taken place. We have advices from Alexandria to the Bth of A pr il. The plague had appeared in that city, but its ravages were fewer, and less danger apprehended from it, than during any other season within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. MEHEMET ALI was prepa ring for another campaign in th e H e dj as , pr i ncipally to protect the ports of Djedda, Hadeida, Mocha, and THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1e36. Loheia, threatened with an invasion by tlid Assur Tribe. The Austrian Government } dt the ullettation of MEIIEMET Au, tIA4 ffhttlited a body of miners to proceed to to excavate and work some lead mules within the territory of his Highness. The PACHA had then remitted to the Porte another instal ment of the tribute, and was about to superintend the opening of the canals for the irrigation of the lands between Alexandria and Cairo. IBRAHIM PACIIA was directing his attention to the construction of a line of fortresses along the Turkish frontier of Syria. The Euphrates expedition was receiving every as sistance that the Paella of EGYPT could give to it. Colo :el CIIESNEY had recovered from his sever: indisposition, and was actively engaged in superintend ing the works, and by his urbanity and kindness ac quiring the confidence of the different tribes. It appears, however, from a letter addressed by Mr. WA GIIORN to a Morning Contemporary, bearing date Alexandria, April 7, that so great is the mis management in the ordering of the steamers conveying, the mails to and from Egypt, that we have as yet de rived no advantage from the increased facilities afforded us by the Egyptian VICEROY. As we wish the atten tion of the proper authorities to be directed to the cor rection of an evil which ordinary prudence is sufficient to prevent, we shall quote the passage in Mr. WAG IIORN'S letter which refers to it : "I am far from wishing to attach blame to any party. All would, I am sure, unite in endeavouring to lessen the present difficulties with which this service has to contend, and to pro vide against those casualties which have caused such frequent irregularities : for instance, the November mails from this were too late in Malta for the Falmouth steamer. The March mail has been the same, arriving in Malta two days after the steamer had left for Falmouth, and, consequently, detained in Malta a whole month, and finally sent home by a sailing vessel. This ought certainly not to have been the case. In the event of the unavoidable detention of this branch steamer beyond her time, the Malta packet ought to be de tained beyond her usual time of sailing —say even, if neces sary, until the 15th of the month, if the steamer from Alex andria were not previously arrived there again. We only yesterday received the Falmouth' mails of March 1 : this is accounted for by the Falmouth steamer having met with damage, and having been replaced by the Eclipse sailing packet. Really, for so very important a point as this, with reference to the communication with India, another steam packet might have replaced the Pluto ; and I strust a steamer will be substituted on any other similar occasion, not leaving the Indian mails subject to the delays incident to a sailing ves sel. Another point which might have given unprecedented dispatch to the present instance of steam-communication with India has been neglected, merely, I presume, from the want of suggestions being made in the proper quarters by parties competent to give weight to their recommendations. It has long been known that the Hugh Lindsay steamer is to arrive in Suez on or about the 20th instant. My presence in Egypt has reduced the transit between Suez and Alexandria, either way, to a certainty of fifty or fifty-six hours, while previously this distance averaged six days ; but this acceleration is again lost, by the present delays in the steam-communication in the Mediterranean. Supposing the Hugh _Lindsay to arrive on the 20th—although it is most probable she will arrive about the 17th—she must wait until, at the very earliest, the 28th instant, before the English mails, which never arrive here before the 25th, can reach her in Suez. ' While the Indian mails brought by her, which will arrive in Alexandria at the latest by the 23d instant, will be detained in Alexandria until the Ist and 2d proximo, the usual date of the packet starting for Malta. How easy it would be to obviate all these delays, by causing the Falmouth mails to arrive in Alexandria a week before their usual time—say about the 18th instant. The packet bringing them would thus have ample time to take in her coals, and sail on the 23d instant, the moment the Indian mail arrived in Alexandria; while, on the other hand, the Hugh Lindsay arriving on the 20th, would find her mails ready , for her on the 21st, and be subject to no detention what ever , ' beyond the necessary delay in getting in her coals." The Canton Register of the 17th of November, contains a letter from the Hong Merchants to the British residents in China, enclosing the copy of another imperial edict relative to the trade with foreigners. By this edict the " Celestial Dynasty" permits every merchant to come to the open , market at Canton ; and as this permission is said " to flow,only from the Celestial favour," foreigners are cautioned to observe the restraining laws," and are not allowed to " take their ships to the coast of other provinces, wandering about, disorderly planning lucky and ex traordinary means of gain." Any Barbarian Eye daring to offend in this respect is to be "cut off for ever from the courtesy of the awful, and to-be-dreaded nation ;" and to prevent future calamities, the English foreigners are to be compelled to remain at Canton, and be taught to " restrain their fierce, violent, crafty, and cunning dispositions." The edict goes on to state that hitherto the Fooyuens, or Great Officers of the Em pire, have been too indulgent to the Barbarians, who thereby grew insolent, and " presumptuously dared to petition for liberty to bring priva'tely their women to the provincial city, and be carried in chairs with four bearers I" The edict concludes thus : " Let all the foreigners unitedly obey the restrictions; no foreign vessel is permitted to frequent the waters of other pro vinces, wandering about confusedly, scheming extraordinary and irregular profits ; if they dare to depend on their own thoughts, and cause confusion, it is fixed that the foreign ships of the said nation are to be driven out of the port, and their trade interdicted ; and that the laws are to be so administered that for them to offend will be difficult ; and, being careful and attentive, they will not be involved in crime or a late re pentance." VOLTAIRE had a high opinion of the Chinese, and judging from their style, so have the great bulk of the French philosophers of the present clay. Did we not know that M. DUPIN is beholden to no man living for a felicitous art in the composition of birthday ad dresses, and that LAMARTINE is a " heaven-born" genius, we should be guilty of the error of believing, that these gentlemen, on a recent occasion, had bor rowed the finest flowers of their eloquence from the " ever-to-be-venerated edict" of his Celestial Majesty. The political mischief of " fostering evil thoughts !" was denounced by the President of the Deputies in his birthday address, in nearly the very words of the Celes tial edict. The coincidence may have arisen from an association of ideas. But seriously speaking, it is really time that the Government would extend a protecting area to the British residents at Canton. To protect and increase our trade it is necessary that we should' compel the Chinese authorities to respect us. We ought also to protest against confining our trade with China to such an isolated and inconvenient harbour as Canton, and in a word compel the EMPEROR to permit us to trade directly with the natives on every part of the coast. In a country so extensive as China, millions of the most enterprising inhabitants are shut out from all trade with foreigners, in consequence of their inability to com municate only with the authorities of one obscure and inconvenient locality, whither it would be impossible for them to carry the produce of their labours. Besides by the present absurd regulations, the English mer chants lose millions annually of a profit all but within their grasp ; for while by the restrictions Chinese pro duce is trebled in price to defray the cost of the car riage from the interior of the country, British manufac tures are obliged to be sold at a low price, to meet the difficulty arising from an artificial scarcity in the num ber of customers. Now a great part of the profits are sacrificed in presents to governors, interpreters, and officers, disposed to overlook an occasional infringe mentan which hour of the Celestial edicts with regard to smuggling theim positions after B fraudulentrith merchantsabuse were ere would p r o n t o e t c t e d continueag o f th e a uthorities, and had no longer a n in terest in supporting such a system of imp os t ure , treachery, and dishonesty.

CLMg . . This morning the vote of Michael diseltssion on Friday evening, was decided to be good ; and that of Min Nolan was struck off the poll of the Sitting Member. This decision gave the petitioners a majority. Mr. AusTEN then said, motives of prudence itionteu him no longer to continue the scrutiny, and as the Committee could not have the documents from Dublin in Armstronir's Case be:. fore Tuesday morning, he would withdraw the objection to the vote. In conclusion he would merely call the attention of the Committee to the evidence respecting Bribery procltied on behalf of the petitioners, leaving them to decide as they should think fit. Mr. TIIESSIGER read the 16th instruction to the Commis sioners, which declared that recriminating evidence should not be received against the unsuccessful candidates. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and after delibe ration the Committee announced that they came to the follow ing resolutions:— _ . . That Daniel O'Connell, Esq., is not duly elected a citi zen to represent the city of Dublin in this present Parliament. " That Edward S. Ruthven, Esq., was not duly elected a citizen to represent the city of Dublin in the present Parlia ment. " That G. A. Hamilton, Esq., is duly elected, and ought to have been returned to serve in this present Parliament for the city of Dublin. " That .J. B. West, Esq., is duly elected, and ought to have been returned to serve in this present Parliament for the city of Dublin. That the petition of Robert King and others did not ap pear to the Committee to be frivolous or vexatious. " That the opposition to said petition did not appear to be frivolous or vexations. " That these resolutions be immediately reported to the House. The CHAIRMAN then, on the part of the Committee, re turned thanks to the Counsel of the respective parties, for the manner in which they had conducted their clients' case. The Committe, in particular, wished to thank Mr. Hutton (the Irish Counsel), for his perfect propriety, and, above all, his ♦ery great moderation and good temper throughout these exciting proceedings ; which was the more remarkable, and the more to be admired, considering the peculiar manner and great extent in which his personal feelings were engaged in the matter. The Committee also thanked Mr. Maguire and Mr. Woodlock the agents. It was intimated by the Chairman that the Committee pub lished the foregoing resolution now, with the view of prevent ing any inconvenience to Mr. O'Connell, in reference to his return for Kilkenny; and hesitated that the Committee would continue to sit in order to deliberate as to their making any special report on other matters involved in the inquiry. The Committee remained in deliberation when our Reporter left. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LONORIDGE V. BEDWELL. This was an action to recover a sum of 291. 175., money lent, and necessaries supplied by the plaintiff to the wife of the defendant. The defendant, who is the mate of a mer chant vessel, went to sea in the year 1832, and in the month of August of that year his wife, Mrs. Bedwell, took lodgings at the house of a Mr. Hill, where she was confined. She re mained there until her husband returned in the February fol lowing, and during his absence was supplied with money and necessaries by Mr. Hill, which were afterwards paid for by Mr. Longridge, the father of Mrs. Bedwell ; and the present action was brought to recover the sum so paid by the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. KNOWLES for the defendant. Witnesses having proved the facts of the case, so far as re garded the payment of a sum of 10/., at different times, by Mr. Hill, a sum of 3/. cash lent, and 1/. paid to the nurse, Counsel for the defendant contended that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, inasmuch as the payment of these sums had not been authorized by the defendant. The person who had a right (if any existed) to maintain an action was Mr. Hill, who paid the money ; but the plaintiff had no authority whatever to act as the defendant's agent in the matter. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS submitted that if the law recog nised the interference of a stranger in supplying necessaries to the wife of the defendant under such circumstances, the father in-law was equally entitled to recover. A witness was then called by Mr. KNOWLES, to prove a tender of 4/. by the defendant to plaintiff, but it appeared that a condition was annexed to it ; and Lord DENMAN left it to the Jury to say, whether they be lieved the tender was conditional or unconditional, and also whether they were of opinion that the money and necessaries to the amount of ten pounds, as stated by the witnesses, were supplied. _ _ _ * the Jury found that the tender was not unconditional, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 141. Mr. KNOWLES applied to the Court for leave to move for a nonsuit. Lord DENMAN—Certainly not. You may move for leave to reduce the amount of the damages, and I fear the law gives , r 5U the power to do so. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Eugenie Lemaire, alias Eugenie Caroline Lemaire, apd Anna Nelaton, were indicting with stealing, on the 18th of April, fifty-nine yards of silk, the property of Mr. King, of 37, Pall-mall, silk-mercer ; and Alexandre Julien Duchesne, alias Julien Duchesne Alexandre, with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. The facts of the case have been before the public in our Marlborough -street report within the last few days. The two female prisoners, it appeared, called on the day in question, between four and five o'clock, at the shop of the prosecutor, to match some silk, which having done they tendered in payment half a sovereign ; and while the prosecutor went to fetch the change, they took the opportunity of purloining the silk, which was valued at 151. Anna Nelaton, in her defence, denied having gone to the shop of the prosecutor at all. Lemaire said that she certainly went to the shop of the pro secutor, accompanied by another female, but she denied taking any of the property of Mr. King ; whether the other female did she could not say. Duchesne denied all knowledge of the property being stolen. A person in the house of Harris, Pearce, and Stone, Cock spur-street, stated that he called on Mr. Nelaton on the day in question, between four and five o'clock, at which time Mrs. Nelaton was not at home, and she was not dressed as if she had been out walking. The servant girl of Mr. Nelaton corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The lady of the son of the Vice-Consul of France, who hadknown Mrs. Nelaton upwards of twelve years, gave her an excellent character, as did several other persons. Mr. Justice LI 171,EDALE summed up at some length, and the jury acquitted Nelaton, and found Lemaire and Duchesne guilty. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French, Hambro', and Lisbon mails—the latter not of so late a date as received yes terday, only April 24—yesterday's being May 5. We have a great number of ship letters—New York ; Cal cutta of Jan. 5 ; Madras, Jan. 25; Bombay, Jan. 4 ; Ceylon, Jan : . 5 ; Cape, Feb. 27. We have received Montreal prpers to the 10th of April, and Quebec to the same, date. We give the subjoined from the Montreal papers : " A number of inhabitants of Toronto lately addressed Sir Francis Head on the subject of the responsibility of the Exe cutive Council, to precisely the same effect as did the City Council. His Excellency's reply is highly characteristic, and gives a vivid idea of the man, though not of the Governor. A rejoinder of great length was written to it, full of con temptible quibbling and impertinent insinuation, and betraying the most stubborn obtuseness of understanding." The Quebec papers say that the weather had become warm, and though the frost at night had been occasionally sharp, still the ground-thaw was evidently going on. It was currently reported in the military circles that a Lieu tenant-General will be sent from England in the course of the summer to take the command of the troops in Canada. The Demerara papers contain an important ordinance by the Lieutenant-Governor and the Court of Policy, for the admis sion into Demerara of African blacks captured on their passage by British cruisers, and liberated, by order of the Courts of Mexico, commissioned at the Havannah. From Singapore, we hear that the dispute of the Siamese with Cochin China was still pending. The Siamese were still preparing for war. From Canton it is stated that the trade was in a depressed state. The Madras papers of the 24th of January, give the follow ing notice from the Finance Department, dated Fort St. George, January 14:—" Gentlemen, your communication of the 30th of October last, having been submitted for the consi deratkm of the Governor-General of India in Council, I am di rected to inform you that this Government is precluded from resuming the purchase of bullion, as therein requested.

The men of Kilkenny have come to a resolution to return Mr. O'Connell free of expense, and have requested that Ireland's Liberator will not leave London to attend the election, or for one day risk the loss of his services in Parliament, PA-RLI;CiiEITARY SUMMARY. In the Loitt3V yeSferday there was some conversation on the subject of introducing poor laws into Ireland. With respect to the course Government meant to pursue, the Marquis of Lanttiowne said that the question was beset by difficulties, the proper c'On!iticr;ttion of which would require more time than Could be given to them this Session. The Alien Registration Bill was reed a second time. The re-commitment of the :lilt nielpal Corporations (Ireland) sill was then postponed till Monday, and the (louse adjourned. In the Co o.ioNfg,' aniong the multitude of petitions pre sented, was one from the Protestant Dissenters of Norwich, that the trustees of their churches and chapels should be ex ealpt ft'f.uji stamp duty in all their contracts ; also from a School Building Moeiety, praying that they might be exempt from duty in the transfer of their shares. The Stafford Wit titsses Indemnity Bill, and also the Dublin Police Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Constabulary Force Bill (Ireland) wits lifoi . qht down to the: Lords with amendments. The establishment of a floral Police, and of an intermediate Court for the trial of petty offences, was announced to be in the contemplation of Government. The remainder of the evening was occupied with the discussion in Committee of the English Tithe Bill. On clause 34 being read, Mr. Parrot moved that la be deducted in every 1001. of the average tithe ascertained by the Commissioners, and that the remain der only be the sum to be paid in future. This amendment was negatived by a large majority. Another amendment shared the like defeat. The Committee having proceeded up to clause 49, the 'louse adjourned. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

WORCESTER, MAY 11.—The report from the plantations is generally that the late weather has improved the plants; prices are firm in our market. THE BOROUGH OF CONGLETON MAGISTRATES. —We mentioned last week that three of the newly-appointed borough magistrates had qualified and taken oaths before the mayor, preparatory to commencing the execution of their duties. Since then, doubts having arisen as to the validity of the qualification so made, the Town Clerk has written to the Home Secretary on the subject, and has received a reply to the effect that before they can legally enter into the execu tion of their offices it will be necessary to take out a "dedinius" as in the case of a county magistrate, but that an act was at present in progress through the House of Lords, which, if passed, would render it unnecessary for them to take out a dedimus. Seeing that a dedimus would cost each of them near 81., we believe, in fees, the magistrates have declined for the present to take any steps whatever in pursuance of their office until the passing of the Act we have alluded to.— Cheshire Examiner. THE COAL TRADE AND THE LONDON COM MON COUNCIL.—The Noblemen and Gentlemen in London connected with the coal trade have held a meeting. Lord Wharncliffe was in the chair, and several resolutions wero adopted, which furnish the best answer to the misrepresenta tions which have been propagated as to the principles on which the coal trade regulation in the North has been founded. They call for inquiry before committees of either, or both, Houses of Parliameat, and express their anxiety to meet the statements and allegations made against them with an imme diate and direct denial. Perhaps Mr. Charles Pearson and his colleagues of the Common Council are not aware that the coal trade combination, as it has been called, have expended vast sums of money in preventing the pitmen from dictating a most exorbitant amount of wages, and have thus made vast pecuniary sacrifices in securing an ample supply of sea-borne coals in the port of London at a fair and reasonable price.— Newcastle Journal. MURDER.—At Sheffield, last Wednesday, an in quest was held on the body of a girl about fifteen years of age, supposed to have been murdered by a woman named Stacey. One of the witnesses said that about half an hour after she had done the deed, she attempted to hang herself with her pocket handkerchief, but was prevented by the apprentice, and the mother of the deceased deposed as follows :—About a fort night ago Mrs. Stacey attempted to hang herself in our house ; she bad been watched and taken care of since. I did not consider she would harm any person ; sometimes she ex pressed herself incoherently. At times I think she was not herself. I do not recollect hearing Elizabeth and Mrs. Stacey quarrelling, or the latter saying anything against my daughter. On going into the room, we found Mrs. Stacey standing by the bed-side, on which my daughter was lying with her throat cut, and a razor lying on the pillow on the bed, near the garret door. My daughter gave one sob after we got up stairs, and that was all. I said to Mrs. Stacey, " Dear me, what have you done ?" She did not reply. I observed her hands all blood ; she was undressed, being in her night-gown and chemise. VIENNA, APRIL 29.—Tlic late Prince of Lichten stein had founded Majorati for three of his sons, and an ap plication for a fourth, for a son born in 1809, was, it is said, on the point of being acceded to by the Emperor. According to his will, each of the eleven children of the Prince is to receive 150,000 florins in money, and an appenage of 4,000 florins per annum, The Princess, his widow, is provided for in the same ample manner. But the Prince has erected an imperishable monument to himself in the memory of the inhabitants of Vienna, by ordering that all the improvements which he has made in 40 years in the environs of Vienna, the buildings, pe, laces, &c., shall remain ope❑ for the enjoyment of the public s and that his successor shall keep them in order. This has caused the greatest joy here, and added to the popularity which this illustrious family enjoys among all classes of people.— Suabian Mercury. THE WEATHER IN WALES.—TIIC severity of the Spring season has scarcely ever been equalled. This month opened with anything but its characteristic mildness; and displayed more wintry symptoms than any of the winter months. The mountains are covered with snow, the mornings are intensly cold, the air is chill, and vegetation is completely stationary. In vain do we look for green fields ; the grass roots for the last two months have scarcely thrown up a single blade. The wheat fields however have stood out very well, and if they have not progressed, certainly they have not retro 4aded. The lambing season has been most disastrous, not only on the mountains, but also the lowland farms. The losses of ewes as well as of their offspring have been immense. The aspect of spring in fact was never so late in visiting the land. In the mean time prices of stock and produce of all descrip tions are on the advance.—Carriartion Herald. TIIE SPERNIACETI WHALE.—At the Zoological Society meeting on Tuesday, a paper was read from G. Ben nett, Esq., on the habits of the spermaceti whale. The mothers appear to have great affection for their young, and the males exhibit a very strong degree of attachment to the females, especially when they are wounded, swimming around them, and by their actions apparently soothing and consoling them. Notwithstanding the number of vessels engaged in the fishery, there does not appear to be any diminution in the numbers of those diet with ; but on the contrary, they appear to be on the increase. The longest period that he had ever heard of one keeping under the water was one hour and twenty minutes, and the depth to which it descended in the ocean 1,680 fathoms, or about a mile. When they intend to descend for a long time, it is known by their putting their tails upwards, in order to make a strong and powerful plunge. They always steer in direct courses, and may be followed for many days to gether in one track, without deviating from it ; but when seen in a large shoal, no one individual from the number would be struck, unless at least a mile distant from the rest for fear of alarming them ; but with careful management eight or ten may be taken in one shoal. When dying they generally point their head upwards to the sun, as if contemplating that lumi nary. Underneath the cuticle is a very fine fur, much like that of the mouse, and which the author considered might be employed in ladies' dresses. The species of delphinus, called the killer, is a great enemy of whales, attacking them severely at the lip, and adhering with great pertinacity. SHORT COURTSIIII).—A few days ago, a diseon solatc Benedict, of Pilham, tired of single blessedness, waited upon the widow of a well-known c haracter, Black 7'onony, at Gainsburgh, wishing to speak with her a few words. Of course he was desired to walk in. After a short colloquy, the business of the gentleman was broached ; he wanted a house keeper, and bad been recommended to her. " Well," re plied the dame, " what family have you ?" " Oh, on l y myse lf . " a sitting-ro om an d one bed-room." " Ah, but where am I to sleep then ?" 44 Why, I was thinking we had better be mar ried first." After a little consideration, a bargain was struck, and on Monday morning last the happy couple were joined in the holy bands of matrimony. _i -- --- - curv. COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY. speculations in joint-stock companies, it is highly important; both to the Government and to the public!, to understand wha,_ --Under the excitement that prevails on the subject of the relative situation of the commercial interest is ; for it that should be provod guilty of spec ulation and o vertradingf the more s er i o u s will the crisis be for w11;11 most men arc nov preparing themselves; and, on the contrary, should our md! and. manufactur es be found to rest on the sold basis of suPP I Y and demand, the better shall we be prepared to weather thee storm when it does come. On this head all the inquiries ca. be most satisfactorily answered, and the mode of making, th is the f perfectly clear will be to make a comparison of the state ef chief articles of import and consumption in the beginning ° 1825, and i n th e p re sent year. There will be found no excess in any one point beyond what the healthy and flourishing', state of our trade t equires. No symptom of speculation in fiY aka bin' commodity is discernible. We' are indebted for the following figures to a gentleman whose operations necessarily rna fully conversant with these details. At the cud of 1825 the stock of cotton on hand Wa s 360,000 bales, on a consumption annually , of 460,000, and the price of New Orleans cotton was from 17Ad. to 20d. At pre . sent the cotton on hand is only 180,000 bales, sumption of nearly 1,000,000; and the prior of New Odeon is 11d. to 12. , 1d. In 1823 the stock of coffee was 30,000,000 lb.; the pric e of good middling plantation, 955. to 985.; at present the stock is only 13,000,0001 h.; the price 100 s. to 105 s. In 1825, the stock of plantation sugar was 43,000 hogs: heads ; and the price 58s. to 675.; at present the stock 19 10,000 hogsheads ; the price, 61s. to 695. In 1825, the stock of tallow was 42,000 casks ; the Pri e , e : on an annuals 355. 6d. per cwt.; at present the stock is 18,000 casks ; tu" price 445. In 1825 the stock of rum was 25,000 puncheons, the pr ice ' Is. lod. to 2s. 6d. per gallon ; at present the stock is 9,50 puncheons ; and the price 3s. to 3s. Bd. per gallon. The comparison might be pursued through several oth.e.r. articles, but the result would be the same, and those me' alone.ind, and t f l a ie et, p i r t ic is e tioned arc by far the most important. The inference is i rre. sistible. k We are encumbered with no large stocks of saY ci n i o s to k r e io p u t s utphaatpopuarrternatdlye ib.sysoth:r deree.uh osPer e" and so rapidly on the increase, that the chief difficulty with merchants and manufactures is how to get the orders they the ,:ve executed.
